Multi-function sensors improve efficiency

04 September 2017

The extended range of Flexflow process sensors from Baumer are based on the calorimetric measurement principle which enables the monitoring of both flow and velocity in addition to media temperature in a single instrument.

The combination of two measuring functions in a single sensor reduces the number of measuring points required in closed systems and therefore minimises installation costs, service and storage.

FlexFlow sensors incorporate features such as an IO-Link and depending on settings and connections, either two switching outputs, or one switching and one analogue output (4-20mA, 0-10V).

The symmetrical, centred design of the sensors allows them to be optimally installed in the process, independent of their installation position and orientation to ensure precise and safe measurements. The range includes the PF20H and PF20S options which are suitable for hygienic and industrial applications.

The IO-Link enables users to simultaneously configure several sensors and this simplifies and saves time when point adjustment is needed for different process stages during set-up, and or for batch changeover.

FlexFlow sensors are designed to enable diagnostic data polling and process evaluation at all times which helps to maximise system uptime and improve efficiency.

All sensors in the FlexFlow range are temperature resistant to 150ºC and are CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Steam-in-Place) capable.
